OK, anybody can explain why and how this absolute piece of shit flick that looked DOA just managed to finish as #2 at the box office (with $38,135,000) and beating a new Spielberg and a new Purge?

it's a household name, supposedly suitable for all age groups, nostalgia for disney movie

Fucking WHAT

Tarzan is a household name for people older than 20.

With that cast I imagine that this film is entirely watchable

you underestimate how surprisingly popular the Disney movie is, plenty of people i know going out to see this because they think its another Disney live action version like Jungle Book (it's not but it seemed to end up working for WB)

Tarzan is a very well known character around the world, has been over 100 years. In the Burroughs books and in movies. Tarzan movies were widely popular in the early days of Hollywood. It was one of the first movie franchises in Hollywood.

it's hardly live action. it's a CGI cartoon with a few humans copy/pasted in
>>71590853
>no Phil Collins
What were they thinking?
>>71590853
tarzan is well known, solid cast, solid director and good word of mouth.
pretty simple.
38 million is still a flop for a movie made on 180 mil budget
it was okay
